TIE-HOLDER.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, Jnssrn L. CowLns, residing at Antioch, in the county of Hillsboro and State of Florida, have invented a new and Improved Tie-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

This invention, which relates to that class of'devices used in connection with turned down collars for holding the collar and tie in the desired position on the neckband of the shirt, more particularly is in the nature of an improved attachment for holding the tie within the collar in place after it has been adjusted.

Another object of my invention is to provide an attachment of the general character stated of a simple and economical construction, which can be used in connection with the standard sizes of collars, and which can be readily applied for use and by which, after-taking oil the collar, the tie can be readily removed from the collar and held in condition "for being applied to another collar, as desired.

With other objects in view that will hereinafter appear, my invention embodies the peculiar features of construction and combination of the parts hereinafter explained, specifically pointed out in the appendec claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

, nigure 1 1S 2L PQISPQCt/IVO VIEW Oll my necktie holder the same being shown as applied to a collar, parts of the collar being broken away to the better show the manner in which the holder is mounted Wlhll"). the collar and the tie connects therewith. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the holder de tached. Fig. 3 is a cross section of the collar with the holder therein, taken on the line 33 on Fig; 1. Fig. 4e. is a plan View of the holder the manner inwhich the tie is connected therewith being also indicated. Fig. 5 is a cross section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

My stay or tie holder comprises a resilient band 1 curved to a collar shape, whose rear or loop end-is bent up. as at 10, to form a. hook for fitting over the shank of the back collar but on a when the parts are operatively applied as shown in Fig. 1. From the band 1, rise a number of fingers, and

these are arranged in pairs, '2-20, at the Specification of Letters Patent.

opposite front ends of the band, a single finger 3 at the rear or hook end of the hand and a slngle one l at each side of the band intermediate of the rear and "front lingers, it being understood that more than one of the intermediate fingers may he used on each side of the band, if desired. The several fingers that rise from the band 1, riveted or otherwise made fast to the said band and the intermediate ones 4%, and the ones 20- are bent to form shouldered portions 40 at their point of connection with the band, the reason for which will press ently appear. Each of the outer ends of the band is slit to produce a tongu that is bent inwardly to form a sp 5 5 for clipping over the lower edge of inner fold of the collar to thcreb' stav inside and at the collar.
